Hmmm, you have +1 deg toe-out and the front end feels nervous...weird. Usually a little toe-out settles the front end down and makes it track nice and straight.

Sounds like you either have 1) too much steering or 2) a loose back end. You'll want to concentrate on either the front end or the rear end and not both at the same time.

To calm the front end down, try shimming the front end out on both side by 1mm. That may take a little of the bite out of the front end.

To get more traction in the rear, try -3 deg toe-in. The more toe-in you have in the rear, the more traction you will have.

There are alot of things you can do. Try one thing at a time. And, I'm sure you know but, just know that a setup that a driver uses on one track doesn't necessarily mean that it will work for another driver on a different track.
